AN OILYTRAIN
Takes Fire and "a Terrible Scene
Ensues.

ST.. THOMAS, Ont, July 15.-At the
crossing of the Grand Trnnk and
Michigan Central railroad in this city
this evening an excursion train on the
Grand Trunk from Port Stanley ran
into passing freight train on the
Michigan Central made up of num-
ber of cars laden with oil The en-
CINE crashed into one of these cars,
when the oil instantly took fire and
burned with great fierceness com
municating with the cars on both
trains and extending to the Griflins
warehouse and coal and lime sheds
adjoining the track on the west and
Campbells dwelling on the east, all
of which were burned to the
ground with their contents. Engineer
Donnelly, of the excursion train was
burned in the wreck, and his fireman
jumped and escaped with slight in
juries. The forward car of the excur-
sion train was filed with passengers
who made frantic efforts to escape.
1t is feared that a number OF lives
have been lost AT 8 O'Clock, when
thousands of people were crowding
around the burning pile. one of the
oil tanks in one of the cars exploded
throwing hundreds to the ground with
great force, scattering the fire in all
directions and severely and perhaps
fatally injuring many. AT $50
O'Clock nine bodies We're taken out.
They were burned to crisp.
THE MISSING NOT KNOWN.
1t is almost impossible to ascertain
with any certainty the names of those
lost in the wreck until the arrival of
the train from Port Stanley, and scores
of people who were taken to their
homes before their names could he
learned were more or less burned.
Gangs of men under the direction of
Superintendent Morford and assistant
Superintendent Morehead, of the
Michigan Central Railway, and j. s.
Stewart, agent for the Grand Trunk
Railway, are at work removing the
debris, and it is expected that the
track will be cleared by daylight.
The telegraph wires were destroyed
and several of the poles burned, thus
interrupting communication.

THE TREADWELL ESTATE.
Judge Levy Decides i'm Favor Of
the Defense.

SAN Francisco, July 15.-Judge
Levy rendered decision to-day in
the case OF Joseph w. Reag against
the executrix OF the estate of James
P..-Treadwell, involving a title to sixty
acres of the Sans Souci ranch, which
is close to Lone Mountain cemetery,
and worth about 100000. The case
has been in the courts since 1856. The
court finds that Alexander Speck in
1859 had possession of the property
and had taken it up as public land
and that Treadwell and other defend
ants properly acquired the title
through him, and the court finds that
the plaintiff never had any title to the
land. The chief claimant, Treadwell,
died some years after the suit began.

Demurrer to the Complaint
Filed by Attorney Carey.

the Circuit Court demurrer to the
complaint OF George II. Perrier VS.. the

the court has no jurisdiction in a suit
against the United States; second,
that petitioner does not state facts suf-
ficient to make out case; third, that
the petition was heretofore rejected by
the proper department of the United
States government, and therefore that
this court has no jurisdiction. Attor-
ney Carey therefore prays that the

draw the nice little sum of five thou
sand dollars in the June drawing of
The Louisiana State Lottery, and all
his old friends were rejoiced at Mr..

usual exclamation, "if it is true" To
vindicate ourselves, and to give the
public the information, we have inter
viewed Mr.. Boyd on the subject.

The second capital prize of the lot
terry in that drawing was 500, 900.
The twentieth was 5000.
Did you get your money?
l did, in 500 gold pieces, with no
delay or bother.
Who acted as your banker?
Wells, Fargo & Co. made the collec-
ton, at cost to me of sos.
Had you other tickets in the same
drawing?
Yes. One Of them drew a small
amount, say 5000, but it was frac
tional ticket and did not yield largely
Mr.. Boyd placed part of his winning
IN real estate at once, as he is an old
timer, and in the abstract business for
